"I'll never be a jazz aficionado...but I do appreciate the more melodic orchestral records by people like Basie. Enjoy the more dynamic numbers and the horns in his one. My fav tracks: Magic, Sweety Cakes, Corner Pocket, April in Paris. I have this as the Best Jazz/Big Band Album of 1957." Reply
"Nice stuff. Thelnoius Monk on the first 2 (pretty much similar tracks) and then Sonny Rollins on the rest. Not their best work but enjoyable nonetheless" Reply

"The fine treasure trove of fine ballads. An even tighter selection of songs could have improved the score a bit," Reply

"An excellent jazz record. Ms. Dearie has a very unique voice and she knows how to use it to her advantage. Strong choice of material and the production values are top notch." Reply
